The upstream committer(s) have been looking into compilation on Clang, 
but hadn't been able to do that on FreeBSD (just yet). They did however 
manage to do it on MacOS.

Should I find some more time to try and tackle this myself, I'll put out 
another diff to remove GCC use. I'd prefer to use Clang as well.
I have however tried this a few times and haven't been able to fix it 
myself, but I don't know much about GCC and Clang differences. So it'll 
probably take some time.

Regards,
Benny
